  1. Loved this video from you both! I spent 6 months living in a Kombi van on the Atlantic Coast of France, touring through Portugal and Spain and loved every moment. Not many RV campers back in them days (early 1990’s) and would welcome to opportunity of doing the same rout in and larger RV! Travel safe and keep up the great work 👏❤️👏❤️

  2. interesting, I have a plan when my son is done school is to convert a uhaul and travel

  3. You guys are doing an awesome job conveying your travel experiences. I look forward to seeing you every time. Devoted subscriber from Aus. 👍🤙

  4. Thanks this is super helpful. You guys seem easy going enough, and I’m sure the process of getting used to RV life takes time. You’re doing great ! I would love to do a meet up, but we are a bit older than you, so it might be weird. I just really resonate with you and I love watching your channel. Stay strong and healthy. 😊

  5. Loved this one. Wish I was younger. Bear looks like he is a little over weight at the moment . He should be around 33kg. I know it's hard in a van , but he probably needs more raw food in his diet. Our two eat all raw meat, mince, chicken wings, drumsticks, wallaby…ha ha no wallabies where you are, and heaps of vegetables, I.e. carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, potato , silverbeet, apples, yoghurt etc. Anything that can be purchased cheap. Raw if grated. Even if you mix it with what ever he is eating now. By the way, How old is he. I love him to bits. Love xx

  6. Class C, they check all the boxes, just get the floor plan and length you feel you need, they come 21 ft and up

  7. Great content as usual . Question ……. how does camping in the US compare to other places you have traveled ?.

  8. Love the space of your rig esp w bear but ideally a class B 19 footer could get down the logging roads to the best forestry dept camp sites plus bushwack boondocking. Can have all the modcons despite 19', my fav model would be a Canadian made Pleasureway (but spendy af).

  9. Great video as always. So enjoy following you on your wonderful adventures. We live in a parked RV during the summer months and have to thank you for your tip For condensation issues. We purchased the Dri-Z-Air for our RV and it works GREAT at keeping the window condensation down. Keep up the excellent videos..so look forward to them.

  10. Toronto boy, been following you guys intermittently. Congrats on the wedding. I'll be in Mazatlan by October. If your epic road trip takes you that far south, first round's on me. Otherwise, I do get out to Vancouver two or three times a year, maybe catch ya there.

  11. Good morning, I've been chasing your video's to get caught up on where and what you're doing.
    Your Class C has it's con's, the long overhang can be a problem, so when you decide on another RV look at the wheel base to overhang, also where the dump valves are located, you want to find one that has it's dump valves ahead of the rear wheels, much less chance of damage from dragging when the tail is lower than the front going into or out of gas stations, stores and such.
    The last thing you'll ever want to do is break off that dump valve on the tail of your RV

    It looks like yours is a 26ft or 28ft, you might consider a 24ft but look for the older ones that don't have the bed in the back corner, those beds can be a real bother when getting into or out of.
    My Class C is a very rare one, it's only 20ft but it has the room I want,
    When looking for a an RV figure 20ft for the amenities, kitchen, bathroom w/shower and storage, then add 4ft for each extra person other wise you'll be in each others way all the time.
    Older RV's are built better than the new ones made after the year 2000, stay away from the Ford V10 engine, look for the Chevy 454 or the Ford 460 V8 engine.

    I'll be around so ask before you leap!!

    I tried to link a couple of examples of RV's located near me for sale but YT won't let me post links to CL ad's, the examples were of what to look for when purchasing used RV's,,,,,,
    Oh well,,,,,,,

  12. I’m in Montana now traveling around Missoula area this weekend. I’m in a Storyteller Van. Hopefully run into you guys and have a beer.

  13. The only thing that matters to me. Is what is in your heart ❤️. Wheels are Wheels. Peace and love people 🙏🙏😁
